I know even in the best of times, BC athletics is rarely a top sports item in Boston. What I want to know is BC in the ACC vs. BC in the BE. Are we more, less, or the same in regards to being relevant from a macro view in all sports?

BC a top sports item in Boston? Perhaps ACC swimming where BC has failed miserably too...Posted by postingking

Get a life - start your own thread about your own favorite team. You add nothing to any BC discussion with your dopey rants. Your another little old lady who cant get over some real or imagined slight from BC or some BC alum. A pathetic little weasel.

Not understanding why Donnnn calls BC a dormat in both BE and ACC. Look at the records. It's not too hard to do so, and see that you're wrong in both cases. BC is not a national power and no one is claiming they are, but certainly not a dormat as you wish.

Don't understand how whrlpgatroll chooses its identity of the day, though it does not matter, all posts are equally irrelevant, and still lacking the true understanding of "troll" and how it relates particulalry to the whrlpgatroll identities.

As for the question of a macro view of BC in BE or ACC, explain your point? After we study the different eras, the lists of participants, and the changes in print journalistic college sports coverage in all markets and especially Boston, maybe we can answer the question with a thesis. What's the goal here?

I have had a long running argument with a buddy of mine who says that BC is not a relevant player when it comes to success in sports in the ACC, and they would have been much better off(because in his opinion, more relevant) if we had stayed in the ACC.

Reality is in BE Football in the day, Pitt, WV, Syracuse and BC were the middle teams. You win 2 of 3 of those games, you finish 8-3. We were typically going to lose to VaTech and Miami, and typically win the rest of our games-Temple etc.

In the ACC, you can make the same case with VTech and probably FSU being the VTech and Miami from the BE, and NC, NCState, Wake replacing Pitt, WV and Syracuse. In my mind, we have not done better or worse by going to ACC. Time will tell(now not looking so good lately) if we can start getting southern recruits because we are now in their markets and can promise families they will see their kid play at least 1-2 a year with a relatively short trip.

In hoops, net net, we are about the same, and maybe slightly better by being in ACC. I think the best Troy Bell teams-one of which won the BE, would lose to the best Craig Smith/Dudley/Sean Williams teams in a best of 7 series something like 4-2...Best that team did was ACC final and Sweet 16.

BC is a doormat in all things considered in the ACC! Their football & baseball team stinks; their basketball team stinks, their lacrosse team stinks shall we consider their ACC swimming program? Great done a job Gene Flippo!

BC has been to more ACC League Championship games in basketball and football in the last 6 years than Uconn has been to BE League Championship games in basketball and football the last 6 years.

Those are the facts. But lets not let the facts get in the way of a good ol' fashioned rant. And as far as rants go, you have to admit that Donna and the other anti- BC poster trolls do a pretty fine job.

In Response to Re: BC in ACC vs. BE : Am I a moron for pointing out a BC record of 2-6 with one win against Umass? If using the IQ scale where you deem me a moron, I would classify your ridiculous assertions "idiotic". Look up the IQ scale.... I stand by my point that BC is the same in the ACC as they were in the BE - a DOORMAT! an easy win for other schools. the ACC loves BC as it's an easy win for most of the schools.Posted by Donnnn

you're not a moron for pointing this out; just for everything else you say

Is it going to take the lifting of the UConn School Presidents skirt to get into the ACC ? She's got blisters on her knees so far.

Hey, Uconn dogs... if the phone don't ring its the ACC.

BC did not unilaterally keep SueConn out of the ACC... thats impossible as they don't have that sort of influence, but the fact that you scraggily mutts THINK that this the case, must make the BC fans day for them to know they had the ability to bury your chances of going to the ACC after leveling a crappy lawsuit.

What do SueConn mutts think of West Virginia now turning the tables on the BE Left Behinds like SueConn and essentially claiming your BE Meathead Commisioner is a moron and allowed the BE football League to fall apart during his tenure ?
